Easier than I thought.

I'd always used synthetic nuts to upgrade my guitars, as they were most readily available pre-slotted. I was so pleased to find these available slotted as well. I found the bone very easy to work with and the results were excellent.

Excellent product!

While playing a recent outdoor gig, my '61 reissue Gibson SG was blown over due to high winds. This resulted in the nut being partially crushed as the guitar fell on it's face on concrete (luckily the only damage). I left the guitar w/ a local Gibson authorized service center to be repaired. $75 later I was left w/ a nut that was rough and shaped incorrectly with slots that were not only too deep, but cut crooked. I removed that nut last night and in ~2 hrs had this new fitted. I feel better about the guitar now knowing that it will stay in tune as well as being pleasing to the eye.

Unbleached = great vintage vibe look!

I wont even get into the quality of a bone nut, I assume if you're shopping at Stew Mac you already know about the sound qualities of bone. But, in addition to all that, I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely "aged" the Stew Mac unbleached bone looked. I used it on a 20 year old HD-28 and it instantly added to what's becoming a vintage vibe on that guitar.

Unbleached Bone Nut for Martin Guitars

This was an amazing purchase for restoring my 40 yr old guitar. I had to do some minor fine tuning and it was ready for install. The added sustain, volume, and bite are amazing. The look is amazing as well. A great deal.
